New Post

New post up on the PHOTO BLOG check it out!

I said to a friend this weekend that I honestly feel like I missed fall.

I guess because I've been home so much that I didn't see the trees with their beautiful fall colours.

Now that I'm getting out more the leaves have already fallen to the ground and I missed it :(

However that being said, I can't wait for Christmas this year :)

I'm already in the mood to listen to Christmas music and decorate the tree.

But I'll refrain, I normally take all my decorations out around Dec 1st, this year I have a feeling it'll be closer to Nov 25th (1 month before Christmas)

I'm soooo excited.

Probably because its our first Christmas with Jesse.

I know he can't open presents or "really" understand what will be going on but it doesn't matter. It'll be our first Christmas with him and that's awesome.

Anyway....my friend Myrna & her daughter Sarah came to visit on Saturday for a few hours.

It was great seeing them since they live so far away.

I have one photo to share.

When Sarah arrived she immediately wanted to hold Jesse.

So Mommy set her up on the couch to safely hold him.

While she looks down at him, this 2 & 1/2 year old little girl who I think is going on 16 looks at baby Jesse and says

"You're sooo cute!"

With the perfect tone of voice and expression, I totally cracked up laughing.

Sarah I think it's you that is "so cute!"

It's a contest!

It's a giveaway check out Myrna's blog HERE to enter!

Halloween '09

A few pictures from Jesse's first Halloween.

Here he is next to his first Jack-o-lantern

I carved this pumpkin myself, and was sooooo disappointed that I missed the girls annual pumpkin carve. The first time since we started the tradition years ago :(

But its how things go once there's a little one to worry about.

Boone dressed up as a bumble bee....he, he

One of Jesse smiling at his Uncle Blaine.

Oh and thanks to Marianne & Sydney who gave Jesse the awesome skeleton shirt :)

And of course one of Jesse with Mommy.

I was going to dress up this year but couldn't find some of my stuff. So I just went with wearing black and pumpkin earrings instead.

We only had 13 kids...which still blows my mind when the next street over has around 90 kids.

Oh well that's why we give out "good" treats cause we don't have to buy as many....lol.

How was your Halloween? Did you eat lots of candy?

Change is as inevitable as rain in the spring.

Some of us just put on our raincoats and splash forward.

And who could forget Boone in on the action too

Take a big poop and then get the "zoomies" and go crazy in the backyard with this big board that really is too big to be a stick to "go fetch"

Then go missing and be caught in the porch licking Kristen's hunting clothes cause it still smells/tastes like the Big Buck he got the other day.

Just "act cool" when Miss Queen B Maggie the Cat comes strolling by and tries to intimdate me

Think she bought it?

Take a nap

Then Dad came home and gave me a NEW SHEEP!

But here's why...check out this before and after shot

Yeah it was that bad...that's after many many washes and sewing jobs to try and "fix it"

And then to finish the day I take a moment to just look pretty and say "cheese"
